The leather shoe productive chain is the study object chosen because it is considered an important economic activity in world-wide terms besides being of great relevance in Brazil, since this country is one of the main producers of womens leather shoes on a world-wide level.

It is also observed the use of information systems and identified the contributions of the information use in marketing, finance, project and production regards to companies in this productive sector.
